ECISD officially takes possession of CTE site

In a special presentation to open the board workshop, Grow Odessa officially transferred the deed to 37.9 acres of land in the industrial complex near the corner of E. Murphy Street and South Meadow Avenue. Grow Odessa donated the land to ECISD to be the site of the new Career & Technical Education Center approved by voters as part of Bond 2023. The new CTE Center will be the home campus for 400 full-time students. It would also serve an additional 2,000 students at various times throughout each day as they travel back-and-forth from Odessa High School, Permian High School, and New Tech Odessa taking CTE elective courses. The new CTE Center would work in partnership with Odessa College to offer students opportunities for dual credit, certifications, and degrees, and would be available on nights and weekends as a training center for the Permian Basin’s adult workforce.
